On December 24, Kim Jaejoong donned a costume of LINE Friends character Brown and held a free hug event with the Salvation Army in Daegu. He stood next to a charity pot with a sign that read, “Get a free hug and make a donation to the Salvation Army’s charity pot.” He is said to have personally planned the event for a month in order to have a special and meaningful Christmas this year.

Kim Jaejoong had fans curious when he teased that he was preparing something special during a Naver V Live broadcast on the same day. He then had online communities chatting up a storm when photos and videos of the day were posted on his agency’s Instagram account.

The videos on C-JeS’s account show Kim Jaejoong in his Brown costume as he interacts with the people of Daegu, dancing to attract people’s attention, hugging kids, and taking photos with people. He was joined by one of his long-time managers, fondly called “Ang Jjang” by Kim Jaejoong and his fans, in a costume resembling the Salvation Army charity pot.

A representative of the Salvation Army’s charity pot project stated, “We are sincerely grateful to Kim Jaejoong for working with us to spread such a meaningful and warm expression of love. Thanks to him, we were able to draw more public attention to our project, and the day’s donation drive was more heartwarming than usual.”

I won’t know it was him even if I hug brown…. gosh…. those who hug him will have a great surprise afterward.
Good Jaejoong giving out his warm to everyone. Now, whenever I see a mascot in korea, I will have to take a good look at that mascot and hug everyone of them if possible. Who knows it might be him.

Gosh, Jaejoong, you have such a warm heart to become a Brown mascot and donate your time on a cold and wet winter day. I hope that you had fun there as much as I did in seeing all the sweet pictures and videos…..so precious uri Jaejoong!

I think it’s only now while posting all these Browny gifs, the closing of JYJ3 stikes me hard. As I wrote below, It feels like Browny lost his home, but actually it’s us who lost our virtual home. As they say “some good things never last” but I never expect it to be this time. 😭

It may sound selfish but how I wish we could appeal to Mia to reconsider, even just General All Purpose Post (since we know how taxing and time consuming making updates and how stressful and draining dealing with arrogant and demanding guests).

i know i will feel lost without being able to come here everyday for any news and updates. we have been so fortunate to have it for so long. i do hope we can find a way to carry on and keep in touch with each other and JYJ

@Kris That’s really a great idea, I would join the appeal though I know we might sound selfish…”General All Purpose Post” is something like what people do in forums right ? rather than joining new forums I hope JYJ3 sisters can gather here in JYJ3 and spazz about Jaejoong new album, drama T.T I have never joined any kpop forum before even Soompi’s that I heard is peaceful, JYJ3 was more than enough for me the focus is on only JYJ but everything about JYJ we spazz about every comeback, every concert, every fanmeeting every interview every magazine and every episode of every drama….I miss all these days already. I wish there was a way to help Admins I always thought that they had a very though Job, but they did it in an amazing way.

@jaechnsu
As we respect Mia’s decision, as we can’t thank her enough for all those years she and the other Admins had done for the fandom for free, it’s really hard to simply say goodbye. I believe it was a hard decision for her. I’m with you, how I wish we could help the Admin. Yes, it was really a tough job , a heavy workload on their shoulders , it became a demand on their part instead of just a voluntary fangirl sharing.
Btw , JYJ3 had a daily GAPP – General All Purpose Post before where we can post/share anything. If only we can have that, where we can share to the Admin infos/updates/photos/videos instead of everything coming from her.

Thanks Mia for the space, closing JYJ3 feels like Browny has lost his home.

Again thank you very much, I wish you ALL THE BEST in your real life endeavors.
Hope one day when everything settles down, you’ll open up again, even just a blank page, I remember we had GAPP (General All Purpose Post), let the guests do the updating. Fighting!

Hello @koreamon, I’ve been keeping these gifs (thanks to @jj_adorable_jj for capturing our adorable Browny_Jae).
so glad I was still able to post them here. I’ll be coming back to this post to say his to Browny 😢

@kris thank you for these lovely, adorable gifs of Browny Jae. I’m glad that you were still able to post them here. The pictures, gifs and videos of the cutest, warmest, most precious Brown mascot always bring a big smile! I can’t stop watching them!
